Comment (by teor):

 Here are some steps that should work:
 1. Download and start Tor Browser
 2. Once Tor Browser has started, turn off your wifi (or unplug your
 ethernet)
 3. Turn off updating
 4. Close Tor Browser
 5. Turn your wifi back on
 6. Open Tor Browser

 Here are some more steps that should work:
 1. As an admin user, copy Tor Browser to the Applications folder
 2. As a non-admin user, open Tor Browser

 Tor Browser cannot update when it is opened by a non-admin user. It will
 try to update, and fail.
